The Design

About Confucius Aesthetics Serie de Ilustraciones

La Estética de Confucio es una serie de ilustraciones creada para presentar los valores estéticos de Confucio. La serie recurre a imágenes metafóricas para expresar ideas como la prosperidad nacional, la armonía social, la igualdad y el amor a la patria. Motivos auspiciosos tradicionales chinos —entre ellos piezas de bronce, colgantes de jade, el fénix, las nubes de buen augurio y el alce— se combinan para conformar el marco exterior de cada ilustración. Los dibujos se realizaron con software de pintura digital y se imprimieron con una rica paleta cromática. La serie busca contribuir al estudio y a una difusión más amplia de la cultura tradicional.
